8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

11,17 6:18 17:7,8 22:17 Isa 54:9,10 Jer 31:35,36 33:20 Ro 1:3

10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

15,16 8:1 Job 38:1-41 41:1-34 Ps 36:5,6 145:9 Jon 4:11

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

And I. 8:21,22 Isa 54:9

neither shall all. 7:21-23 8:21,22 2Pe 3:7,11

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

17:11 Ex 12:13 13:16 Jos 2:12 Mt 26:26-28 1Co 11:23-25

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

Eze 1:28 Re 4:3 10:1

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

everlasting. 9-11 8:21,22 17:13,19 2Sa 23:5 Ps 89:3,4 Isa 54:8-10 55:3 Jer 32:40 Heb 13:20

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

Shem. 23 10:1 1Ch 1:4

Ham. 10:1,6

Canaan. Heb. Chenaan.

19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

These. 5:32

and of. 8:17 10:2-32 1Ch 1:4-28

20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

an husbandman. 3:18,19,23 4:2 5:29 Pr 10:11 12:11 Ec 5:9 Isa 28:24-26

planted. De 20:6 28:30 Pr 24:30 So 1:6 1Co 9:7

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

and was. 6:9 19:32-36 Pr 20:1 23:31,32 Ec 7:20 Lu 22:3,4 Ro 13:13 1Co 10:12 Ga 5:21 Tit 2:2

and he. Hab 2:15,16 Re 3:18

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

Ham. 25 10:6,15-19 1Ch 1:8,13-16

told. 2Sa 1:19,20 Ps 35:20,21 40:15 70:3 Pr 25:9 30:17 Ob 1:12,13 Mt 18:15 1Co 13:6 Ga 6:1

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

Ex 20:12 Le 19:32 Ro 13:7 Ga 6:1 1Ti 5:1,17,19 1Pe 2:17 4:8

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Cursed. 22 3:14 4:11 49:7 De 27:16 28:18 Mt 25:41 Joh 8:34

a servant. The devoted nations, which God destroyed before Israel, were descended from Canaan: and so were the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, who were at length subjugated with dreadful destruction by the Greeks and Romans. The Africans, who have been bought and sold like beasts, were also his posterity.

Jos 9:23,27 Jud 1:28-30 1Ki 9:20,21 2Ch 8:7,8 Joh 8:34

26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Blessed. De 33:26 Ps 144:15 Ro 9:5

the Lord. 10:10-26 12:1-3 Lu 3:23-36

Sem. Heb 11:16

his servant. or, servant to them. 27:37,40

27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

enlarge. or, persuade. Japheth. Japheth denotes enlargement, and how wonderfully have his boundaries been enlarged; for not only Europe, but Asia Minor, part of Armenia, Iberia, the whole of the vast regions of Asia north of Taurus, and probably America, fell to the share of his posterity.

he shall dwell. These words may mean either that God or that Japheth shall dwell in the tents of Shem. In either sense the prophecy has been literally fulfilled.

dwell. Isa 11:10 Ho 2:14 Mal 1:11 Ac 17:14 Ro 11:12 15:12 Eph 2:13,14,19 3:6,13 Heb 11:9,10

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
